Hello all

We have had another arguement so here goes. The card reads:

-Allows another terrain card of any strength to be played to this card. The two cards are treated as one, combining their strength points and output.

Question one: Can a T/B Vektrean base be played to this terrain card?

Question two: If it can be played to the T10, do they combine their strengths and do the shields on the T/B protect the T10?

I would like as many replys as possible. Thanks ahead ot time.

According to Galactic Fire issue number two on page 13 concerning Vektrean bases:  "You can play a Vektrean asteroid base to a star because it is played as terrain, but you may not play a white dwarf to the Vektrean asteroid base because it is a base for purposes othe than being played and damaged."

On the same page under "combined" it says, "Whenever two or more cards become combined, they are treated as one card of the appropriate type.  The strengths of the two cards are added to determine the strength of the combined card.  Any shields and weapons are considered added together, forming one set of weapons and one shield."

Now, since it CLEARLY states that a Vektrean asteroid starbase may be played to a star, and in light of all of the above, why is a Vektrean T/B 9 Starbase played to a T10 Massive Star NOT treated as a strength of 19?  I feel that "it's a base for all other purposes" is true but has nothing to do with how it is PLAYED and DAMAGED which of course is as terrain.  Please explain it to me because what I have read so far does nothing to address the actual rules we have.

Hello all

In our group we have decided that you can play the T/B to the T10 but it does not combine. It protects the T10. That's how we are doing it.

The card reads: R/S1 Base Relocation Tug

May move one base from one terrain to another each turn.

When played in reaction the Base Relocation Tug is played in the engaged position.

I have always wanted a Vektrean T/B to play to regular terrain. Can this Tug move a Vektrean T/B from the T10 Super Massive Star to,say a Reactionary World?
